Google shares 3 tips to take selfies with the Pixel Fold

Google recently shared insider tips on their official blog to help Pixel Fold users take incredible selfies. With its innovative design and powerful cameras, the Pixel Fold offers a unique selfie experience. Here’s a breakdown of Google’s recommended techniques:

Google suggests ditching the standard front-facing camera and harnessing the power of the Pixel Fold’s 48-megapixel rear camera. In the Camera app, the “Switch to Rear Selfie” feature allows you to use this superior camera while still using the outer display to compose your shot. Plus, easily include more friends with the ultrawide lens option.

Of course, you can capture selfies with the rear camera on standard slab phones, but it’s hard to frame yourself in the shot. With the Pixel Fold, thanks to the outer screen, you can frame yourself perfectly while also ensuring the best quality.

As Google explains, the Pixel Fold’s folding design eliminates the need for makeshift phone props. Simply put your phone in Tabletop mode (partially folded and resting on a surface) and use the inner camera for hands-free photos and videos. Google’s blog highlights the convenience of this feature.

Google’s blog explains how the Palm Timer simplifies group photos. Enable it in the Camera Settings, then raise your palm to the camera to activate a countdown timer. This gives everyone ample time to get in position and say “cheese!” Some other smartphones also have a Palm timer, and I must agree that it’s indeed one of the more useful camera features out there.

These tips come directly from Google’s official blog, offering a trusted guide to maximizing your Pixel Fold’s selfie potential. Ready to level up your selfie game? Follow these cool selfie tips and start capturing amazing moments with your Pixel Fold.
